- `question` is displayed on shell startup.
|
||||
- `answer` is displayed by running `answerpls` in that terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
Run `refreshpls` to advance to another question before the next calendar day.
|
||||
`answerpls` then displays the answer to the newly shown question. Refreshing is
|
||||
persisted under `$XDG_STATE_HOME/bash` (or `~/.local/state/bash` when that
|
||||
variable is unset), so new terminals show the refreshed question for the rest
|
||||
of that calendar day. The normal daily selection takes over again the following
|
||||
day.
|
||||
|
||||
The file has no header or comments. Empty fields, duplicate names and malformed
|
||||
rows are errors.
|
||||
|
||||
Bash selects one entry deterministically from the local calendar date. Every
|
||||
terminal opened on the same day therefore shows the same question without
|
||||
requiring a state file. Editing the bank may change which question maps to a
|
||||
given date.
|
||||
Bash works through a persisted, randomly shuffled deck. Each question appears
|
||||
once before the deck is shuffled again, and a new deck does not begin with the
|
||||
question that ended the previous one. The deck advances on a new calendar day
|
||||
or when `refreshpls` is run, while every terminal opened on the same day shows
|
||||
the current persisted question. Editing the bank starts a newly shuffled deck.
